Hi Thanks all. Much appreciated. For future reference in the archives I did the following... rpm -qa | grep kernel yum erase kernel-2.6.XX then rebooted. All clean and nice. People always ask me why do I run Linux instead of Windows as there is no support. I always say there huge support

[SLUG] Inverting network interfaces

2012-05-21 Thread Edwin Humphries
G'day, I have a rather weird problem. We've installed a router device at one of our customers; it is a Via motherboard and has therefore a Via Rhine network interface on the motherboard (eth0) and a Realtek 8139 network interface on a PCI card. For some reason, the drivers for the two

Hi Edwin, 1. try a different PCI card like an Intel card. 2. Possibly the motherboard nic is turning off or faulty for some reason and the PCI card assuming eth0. Try turning off the Via motherboard nic and install two PCI cards... like two Intel cards. Ben On 05/22/2012 10:03 AM, Edwin

You might be able to create a udev rule that keeps the eth0 device to the MAC addr of the card you want it too, and the eth1 to the other mac address, so they don't swap if the card dies etc. Looks like centos doesn't setup this by default, but I was certain Debian did, so when I find the sample

The file will be 70-persistent-net.rules which can be coded to force eth0 to be against a certain MAC address etc.. same with eth1.. Google around, you should fine a sample to lock it down. But I agree, get Intel nics or something known to have great drivers. On Tue, May 22, 2012 at 10:57 AM,

Couple of things here 1 modprobe config file (location depends on distro) Make sure you set the driver to the correct device 2 /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-* Match the DEVICE= and HWADDR= lines listed in these files with those listed in modprobe config file. My advice would be to
